Hardly Yokohama? (Patreon)

As an ardent fan of Yokohama Kaidashi Kiko and a creator of a doujin literature (below), I have always been amused that the story’s reference to Yokohama is actually minimal. Literally translated into “Yokohama Shopping Log,” yes the protagonist Alpha does take her scooter to that city to buy beans for her coffee shop, but that is only the first episode and she never goes back there for a refill. She and her neighbors actually live in today’s Miura peninsula down south, which is much more rural (shores, tea leaf gardens, narrow roads and fishing villages). The reason why the series was not named after Alpha’s actual residence is anybody’s guess.:-)
